Citadel CLI

Citadel is the on-premise agent that connects your hardware to the AceTeam Sovereign Compute Fabric. Install it on any machine with a GPU, join the AceTeam Network, and start running AI workloads -- all while keeping your data on infrastructure you control.

Why Citadel?

Sovereign. Your data never leaves your hardware. AI inference runs locally on your machines, not in someone else's data center. Meet compliance requirements without sacrificing capability.

Simple. One command to go from bare metal to production-ready AI node. No complex networking configuration, no cloud console, no Kubernetes expertise required.

Secure. Every connection is encrypted end-to-end through a secure mesh network. No inbound ports to open, no VPN appliances to manage, no attack surface to worry about.

Get Started in 1 Command

citadel

That's it. The interactive control center handles everything: login, network connection, service management, and accepting AI workloads. No subcommands to memorize.
